The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 236: Ready to Go

fumbled into his mother's wardrobe, and when he opened the cabinet next to it, there was a big safe.

He observed it carefully and saw that the 8-digit password lock.

He tried his sister's birthday first, 20030822, but it was wrong.

Then he tried his own birthday, 20030823, but that was also incorrect.

The password had been entered incorrectly twice already. If he entered it wrong a third time, the alarm mode would be triggered!

At that time, the whole house would start blaring 'woo woo', and the police would also rush back.

As thought, he rhythmically tapped on the cabinet door with his index finger.

There was only one last try left!

was born on August 22nd at 11:59 pm, the very last moment of the day. She was named XiangWan, meaning the flowers bloom on the path, and she returns late every night.

It is hoped that she would be gentle and live a happy and healthy life.

was born on August 23rd at 00:01 am, the very beginning of a new day. He was named ChaoYang, meaning facing the sun and being vibrant.

It is hoped that he would be upright and optimistic.

The sister and brother were born only 2 minutes apart, but across two different dates - one on the 22nd and one on the 23rd. Their names were both given by .

finally decided to take a gamble.

Betting on his mother's love!

He entered - 22592301

Click!

The password lock opened!

Indeed, it was a combination of the brother and sister's birth times!

felt somewhat strangely moved. As expected, his mother loved him too, and her love for him was no less than the love she had for his sister.

They were a girl and a boy, so the parenting approaches were different, that's all.

But soon, he froze in puzzlement again.

The safe was crammed full of jewelry - from diamonds to pearls to jade, everything imaginable!

Are you serious?

eyes nearly popped out!

Good gracious, they were even categorized neatly, with clear notes stating what was gifted when.

: "......"

He searched through a few layers, and soon found a separate compartment.

On it was a clear label that said "To My Daughter".

But when he opened the compartment, it was empty.

immediately snapped a photo and sent it to .

'Nan ChaoYang: [Photo]'

'Nan ChaoYang: It's not here. It was probably taken out right?'

'Nan ChaoYang: What's wrong?'

His sister's reaction was very strange, making him nervous too.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened.

There was ice in voice: "An illegal border-crosser is wearing the exact same bracelet as mom."

Nan ChaoYang: "!!!"

Nan XiangWan: "Gotta go."

She didn't have time to chit chat with her brother. She had to go find her mom!

......

was stunned listening to the beeping dial tone as his sister hung up.

He remained standing dumbly in front of the safe, somewhat at a loss.

had just gotten up. After washing up, he came in to change and happened to see standing dumbly right in front of him.

Taking another look at the open safe with its contents ransacked and chaotic,

was shocked: "Son, what are you doing?"

eyes were red: "Dad, do you think mom got into trouble?"

: "!!!"

It is said there is a special bond between mother and son. In an instant, thought of many worrying possibilities.

He took a big step forward: "Did you hear something?"

hesitated for a bit, then told him everything about the bracelet in detail.

After listening, became anxious!

He started pacing around the room, back and forth, back and forth.

: Don't keep pacing around! It's useless to panic over this. Stop pacing already, watching you is making me dizzy!"

suddenly whirled around and put his hands on shoulders, seemingly having made some big decision.

: "Wha, what is it?"

: "Son! Don't go to the military academy anymore, enlist early instead! Go to the front line and gather some news!"

: "......"

Dad, you don't even want your son anymore in order to find a wife?

put on gloves and started extracting fingerprints from the bracelet.

Unfortunately, the equipment was limited here, and there were too many mixed fingerprints on the bracelet, so he couldn't immediately determine if fingerprints were on it or not.

waited at the door for a bit, but soon couldn't wait any longer.

She pursed her lips and turned around.

Heading towards the commander's office!

At this time, was on a phone call in his office.

The door was wide open, without any intention to hide anything.

: "Yes! Understood! Yes......Alright! Understood!"

After hanging up, as he raised his head, he saw standing at the door.

She looked off, somehow.

: "Reporting in!"

Then she strode into the room with large steps.

Bang!

She shut the door with a loud thud!

Instantly, it was just and left in the office.

tone was cold and stern: "What is it?"

: "Commander, please grant me permission to cross the border!"

......

Five minutes later.

convened a military preparedness meeting.

The base commander and all school principals were present.

Already sitting in the conference room were over twenty people.

Glancing across, uniform after uniform of Air Force officers caught the eye.

The military officers were not smiling, sternly waiting for the commander to arrive.

The door was pushed open.

Everyone looked over, but instead of seeing the commander, they saw walk in behind .

Under everyone's complex gaze, followed to take the foremost seats.

Once was seated in the chief position, she stood ramrod straight behind him.

rapped on the table: "Let's begin."

Officers: "Yes, sir!"

The response was sonorous and curt.

Despite it not being a large conference room and having barely twenty-odd people,

The roar was deafening!

: "Are the fighter jets ready?"

Colonel on the left: "The fighter jets are ready!"

: "Are the paratroopers ready?"

Colonel on the right: "The paratroopers are ready!"

: "Are the micro reconnaissance drones ready?"

Lieutenant Colonel on the left: "The control module and operators are ready!"

: "What about the weapons?"

Lieutenant Colonel on the right: "Military supplies and weapons are ready!"

"......"

He surveyed readiness down the line, and battle preparedness was perfect.

Everyone was good to go!

Finally, nodded and then loudly ordered:

"South XiangWan!"

stepped forward: "Sir!"

: "You are now officially appointed as a soldier of , will you accept the appointment to the ?"

answered loudly: "Accepted!"

: "Yes, sir! I will fight bravely without fear of sacrifice to defend our motherland and protect the peaceful labor of our people, never betraying my country under any circumstances!"

: "Good. Now - "

As he spoke, he paused, a flash in his eyes, then continued thunderously,

"Take your troops and move out!"

: "Yes, sir!"
